I know it well myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need for any more treatment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead of spending money on a dying man like me, it’s better to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s better to forge an extra set of armor, an additional weapon, for the Ducas Clan, for Mark...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt asked, \"Sir, is there anything else you need me to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the bed, Donovan stared straight at the pitch-black ceiling above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He repeated Hewitt’s words, \"Do something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire bedroom plunged into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So quiet you could hear a pin drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until a few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan finally spoke again, \"Hewitt, there are some words I need you to pass on to Mark, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt raised an eyebrow, \"Sir, you still have time; you can tell them yourself, can’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan shook his head, \"There are things I’m willing to say, but it doesn’t mean they are willing to listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, in front of them, there are things I cannot say...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But facing you, I can speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing more, waiting for Donovan’s narrative to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan began, \"Help me convey to Mark that he is now Marquis Ducas, the head of the Ducas Clan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rise or fall of the Ducas Clan, this heavy burden fell upon his shoulders the day he inherited the marquis title.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve, Donovan, carried this burden for decades, struggling for the whole clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell him that I apologize for previously mocking and scorning his unrealistic ambition to influence Imperial Authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mark’s ideas and actions are correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a Great Lord, he must climb upwards at any cost, remove all resistance around him at any cost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if that resistance comes from his blood kin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only this way can the Ducas Clan be elevated to a higher level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt’s body suddenly trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Donovan on the bed, eyes full of tension and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donovan before him already knew everything Mark had him do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan, as if seeing through his heart, reassured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to be nervous, no need to be afraid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My existence holds no more value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you, as a doctor, must continue to contribute to the Ducas Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Donovan’s reassurance, Hewitt’s body continued to shake like a sieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan did not care for Hewitt’s expression and continued speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mark’s way is correct!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only regret I have is that compared to me, he’s still too naive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, when I was young, to obtain this title, I personally slaughtered my father, my brothers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before obtaining the title from me, he could do nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After acquiring the marquis title, he still let me live this long...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt walked out of Donovan’s bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t gone far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall, slender figure entered his sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt naturally recognized that the figure was Marquis Mark Ducas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly quickened his pace towards Mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to Mark’s side, he followed behind him towards the distant open balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark’s voice reached Hewitt’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doctor Hewitt, tell me, how is Donovan’s condition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hewitt dared not hesitate, quickly responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis, Lord Donovan refused my medication treatment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark, walking in front, instantly halted his steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly turned, looking at Hewitt, almost interrogatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Refused?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the shift in Mark’s demeanor, Hewitt naturally understood its meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He promptly explained, \"Marquis, Lord Donovan said he knows his body very well, requires no further treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, Lord Donovan had a message for me to relay to you, Marquis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mark furrowed his brow, hesitated for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn awoke from his dream, slowly opening his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him, nestled in his embrace, Janet appeared before his eyes without reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On her exquisite and fair cheeks was a faint blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite a night of rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flush had yet to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the corner of her eyes with curled eyelashes, there was even a noticeable trace of tears...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Janet breathed evenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her side-lying figure perfectly formed a curvy shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slender waist, an inch graspable, with a snow-white fullness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the whiteness, there was a hint of red left from playful teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn’s lips curved upwards, his gaze tracing down her body.\u003C\u002Fp>",818,"2026-05-29T04:51:16.627Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","60f9952e603f799e081e330ab9720d895481820aa9fafa8423773e88e2db015c","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-843","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-841",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
